Added to [[WP:WSS/ST]] today by [[User:John Abbe]]. Category and template created by the same user and contains one article. (The template was actually created while I was writing this!). This category also seems to belong to the redlink [[:Category:Systems Thinking]] category. --[[User:TheParanoidOne|TheParanoidOne]] 22:28, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not sure whether to comment much on this one, since I haven't the faintest idea what the category name means. Looks like it may be connected with AI, but also with zoology and psychology and... do we need this one?

::Right, [[systems thinking]] is inter-disciplinary. This arose because i saw [[stigmergy]] categorized in biology, which is clearly insufficient as most of the recent interest in the term is outside the realm of biology. There are many articles on Wikipedia that would fit in the category of systems thinking - e.g. [[systems]], [[emergence]], [[complex systems]], [[cybernetics]]. I was surprised the category didn't exist yet. Whether or not i get around to tagging them all, someone will/should, and the stub template will be handy. --[[User:John Abbe|John Abbe]]

Line 9:

:::None of the articles you mentioned appear to be stub articles though, so they wouldn't be tagged as such. So while a general category for this subject might be appropriate, a stub type seems a little premature. --[[User:TheParanoidOne|TheParanoidOne]] 09:46, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

::In any case, that's what multiple stubbing's for. If it applies to computers as well as biology, give it both stubs. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...<font color=green><small>''[[User_talk:Grutness|<span style="color:green;">wha?</span>]]''</small></font> 12:48, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

==August 2005 discoveries==

==={{tl|Denmark-bio-stub}}===

This one seemed obvious enough that I decided to '''[[Wikipedia:Be bold in updating pages|be bold]]''' and create it. At a glance, more than half of the ~260 articles with {{tl|dk-stub}} could use this, plus many more from {{tl|bio-stub}}. &mdash;[[User:PrologFan|PrologFan]] <small>{[[User talk:PrologFan|Talk]]}</small> 21:02, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

:Seems like a fairly obvious one. If it lowers the load on dk-stub, maybe that can then go for renaming more easily, too. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...<font color=green><small>''[[User_talk:Grutness|<span style="color:green;">wha?</span>]]''</small></font> 01:13, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

==={{tl|HI-stub}}===

Brilliant. A wikipedian decides to ignore the long-established {{tl|Hawaii-stub}} and create a totally separate one with the unlikely name of HI-stub. I've redirected this one to the older one (which needed a bit of fixing anyway). HI-stub should almost certainly be taken to sfd. Not only is it an ambiguous name but it's hardly an easily guessable one (why HI??? Surely the usual abbreviation for Hawaii is HW?)

*Actually, HI is the [[U.S. postal abbreviations|postal abbreviation]] for Hawaii. Regardless, I do agree that it is otherwise unclear and could be deleted.--[[User:Mitsukai|Mitsukai]] 18:38, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

==={{tl|LADOT-stub}}===

Another {{user|Ronald20}} creation (#4). There is no category, and no article currently has the stub. The stub, if used, would have some overlap with the already created {{tl|LACMTA-stub}}, but I think neither of the stubs will have enough articles to justify their existence and therefore should be deleted. [[User:BlankVerse|<fontspan colorstyle="color: green;">''Blank''</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color: #F88017;">''Verse''</fontspan>]]<fontspan colorstyle="color: #2554C7;"> </fontspan>[[User talk:BlankVerse|<fontspan colorstyle="color: #F660AB;">&empty;</fontspan>]] 04:44, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

:Personally, i don't see much use for either, but there is a South california wikiproject and LACMTA has at least got some articles - and a category. This latest one, though... hit it on the head before it injures someone. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...<font color=green><small>''[[User_talk:Grutness|<span style="color:green;">wha?</span>]]''</small></font> 04:52, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

::As a participant in the [[WP:WPSC|SoCal WikiProject]], I say delete both of them. The articles with LACMTA-stub can be double-stubbed with the new SoCal geo stub plus the metro-stub (the later probably being the more important stub since it seems to be mostly NY metro enthusiasts who have been creating and editing the LACMTA station articles).

::re: Ronald20: I just left a message on his Talk page about creating new stubs, although I doubt that it will do any good.

=== {{tl|JNB-stub}} / [[:Category:Johannesburg stubs]] ===

Other than the name (apparently JNB is the airport code for the main airport there...), looks to be useful and worth keeping, with 300-some articles. --[[User:Mairi|Mairi]] 00:18, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

:True, but man oh man could that template do with a rename! I think I'll ''be bold'' and move it to Johannesburg-stub. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...<font color=green><small>''[[User_talk:Grutness|<span style="color:green;">wha?</span>]]''</small></font> 01:14, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

::I've also changed the category parent from {{cl|South Africa-related stubs}} to {{cl|South Africa geography stubs}}, since everything in there is either a geo-stub or a struct-stub.

==={{tl|Singapore MRT-stub}}===

Has 49 articles, all are about stations. No linked category until I added it to [[:category:Singapore MRT stubs]] just now. &mdash; [[User:Instantnood|Insta]][[User_talk:Instantnood|ntnood]] 06:51, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

:Badly formatted name ({{tl|Singapore-metro-stub}} would be far better) and all the articles will need null edits. Sigh. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...<font color=green><small>''[[User_talk:Grutness|<span style="color:green;">wha?</span>]]''</small></font> 05:51, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

::MRT is the name of the metro system in Singapore. By the way the template has been edited by another user to link to [[:category:Mass Rapid Transit (Singapore) stubs]]. 23 articles are now displayed in this category. &mdash; [[User:Instantnood|Insta]][[User_talk:Instantnood|ntnood]] 09:51, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

:No doubt it is - but, like all of the other rapid transit systems (all of which have misnamed stub types, IMO, it would make more sense if the stub template had a more consistent name. I'd far prefer the london underground stub template to be called London-metro-stub than its current LUL-stub, for instance, eben though I know that no-one in London talks of the metro (it's the tube). As it is, I';ve tidied up the template a bit (adding the hyphen to at least keep it in line with stub naming guidelines and moving the category back to your original name for it). I've also created the category and started on the neecessary edits to make the articles actually appear in it.

==={{template link|Street-stub}} / [[:Category:Street stubs]]===

4 articles. &mdash; [[User:Instantnood|Insta]][[User_talk:Instantnood|ntnood]] 16:38, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

:Now redirected to road stub and orphaned. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...<font color=green><small>''[[User_talk:Grutness|<span style="color:green;">wha?</span>]]''</small></font> 05:48, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

==={{tl|Scarface-stub}} / (no category) ===

From the same editor who created {{tl|Hot Jewish Actress-stub}}, {{user-c|Wiki brah}}. I think that this editor may be another potential Ronald20 or Maoririder.

==={{tl|Ichneumonoidea-stub}} / [[:Category:Ichneumonoidea stubs|Ichneumonoidea stubs]]===

Created today by [[User:80.255]]. Added to [[:Category:Invertebrate stubs|Invertebrate stubs]] and [[:Category:Insect stubs|Insect stubs]] by [[User:Stemonitis]]. Only used on 4 articles. This stub is far too specific. It doesn't cover wasps (which might have been a reasonable split) but a ''specific type'' of wasp. --[[User:TheParanoidOne|TheParanoidOne]] 20:55, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

:SFD material, I suspect. [[User:Grutness|Grutness]]...<font color=green><small>''[[User_talk:Grutness|<span style="color:green;">wha?</span>]]''</small></font> 02:12, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
